  • That Bee Is A B, Anyone For More Boy? & Gender Reassignment Indian Style
    Jul 3 2024

    If you’ve ever been stung by a bee (unlike Mel who has never been stung … yet) you know it hurts. Now imagine getting stung … in the eye. Who doesn’t love a good barbecue? Ever wondered what’s in that burger? You might after hearing this story. I think we’ve all wanted to duck out of plans that we’ve made. Wait until you hear how far this woman went with her plan to get out of a blind date. Next, we’re off to India where we will hear of the man who had gender reassignment surgery … even though he didn’t want it. It was all part of a diabolical plan by another man. Oh India. You are such a gold mine.

  • Blowin’ Up The Poop Tube, All For The Love of a Hen & Bang A Dong
    Jun 26 2024

    Ever sneezed and coughed at the same time? I have, and it’s no picnic. Even if you’re on a picnic. This guy did and the outcome was … messy. Then we’ll meet a guy who lost a fantasy football pool and had to go out on a date … with a blow up doll. But it didn’t end there. Oh no. Then we’re off to Nebraska where an unfortunate woman died … twice. Blue the chicken has a very loving home. So much so that when she needed heart surgery, her owner didn’t think twice. And lastly, the 2008 word of the year in Belgium and The Netherlands was “swaffelen”. Know what it means? You’re not likely to forget once you learn.
